The current project can also be archived into a single file. This can be useful when you want to share a
project, or make a backup copy of a project. To archive a project, select Project > Create Archive. To
restore a project from a project archive, select Project > Restore from Archive. Project archiving is
discussed in detail in the chapter Custom izing Projects on page 77.
The Project Development Process
Z-View contains a sample project which can be useful as a starting point for creating your own project
(you can make a copy the project folder and change its name), but you can also start by creating a new
project from scratch. In Z-View you don't have to follow any rules when creating your project, and you
can always go back and change settings and parameters at any point in your project's progress.
To create a new project, select Project > New Project. Supply the project name and the location where
the project will be stored, and you're ready to continue with any of the following:
Setup up communication ports and other project settings.
Design screens.
Define alarms.
Define reports.
Define trends and charts.
Define recipes.
Create groups and layouts.
Setup security options.
Once your project is ready for use by plant operators, you can prevent access to development tools by
hiding settings tables and putting Z-View in operator mode. For more information refer to in the chapter
Custom izing Projects on page 77.
